Great Places To Visit From: The Directors
and willing to go off the beaten trail, try heading through the Hondo Valley to the Hurd-Wyeth La Rinocanda Gallery.
Actually, this post is dedicated to Dr. Stanley H. Taylor who had a gift for finding out of the way places that are rich in history and ambiance. So, when Stan's wife Annie (who we were driving through Southern New Mexico with) said, "Turn off here, I have a surprise for you. Stan would have wanted you to see this." Keith and I smiled at each other and took the turn.

We drove down a dirt road bouncing around pot holes, past old adobe casitas with fresh laundry hanging in yards, by rusty pick up trucks in gravel driveways. A few pigmy goats grazed along side the road where we pulled into a neat yard in front of a red brick building. We got out of the car and breathed in the crisp autumn air. The scenery of the Hondo Valley - captivating.
The Sentinel Ranch is located in San Patricio and well worth the short jaunt off of highway 70. The gallery is a hidden treasure that houses the works of Michael Hurd, Peter Hurd, Henriette Wyeth-Hurd, N.C Wyeth, Jamie Wyeth and Andrew Wyeth.
There are also several guest homes on the property that can be rented. Pets are welcome for a small fee.
